Clever Culture Systems is a leader in microbiology technology driven by artificial intelligence, delivering modular automation solutions that maximise laboratory efficiency.

Our technologies are designed by microbiologists for microbiologists to ensure our products not only meet the needs of the laboratory but also seamlessly integrate within our customer’s workflow. Our team are highly experienced in laboratory automation, diagnostics and microbiology.

Leveraging our history in clinical microbiology, where we have multiple global regulatory clearances (FDA, CE Mark, TGA) and more than 25 publications in leading academic journals, we have adopted the same robust scientific approach for environmental monitoring plate reading. We understand the importance of each result, and therefore follow our validated design and development process using proven machine learning processes.
